Merrylock 2020 - Machine Maintenance; Cleaning the Machine; Oiling the Machine

46
An overlock machine requires more maintenance than a
conventional machine for two reasons:
1) A lot of lint is produced due to the cutting action
of the knives.
2) An overlock runs at a very high speed and needs
to be oiled frequently to lubricate the internal
working parts.
Clean the lint from the looper and knife area often
with a dry lint brush.
Danger:
Before cleaning your machine, disconnect
power line plug from the wall receptacle.
The oiling points shown in the diagram, should be
oiled periodically.
Note: Use only sewing machine oil. Do not use any
other oil or damage could result.
Danger:
Before lubricating your machine, disconnect
power line plug from the wall receptacle.
